Charter / moderation notes

Charter: rb.news.feed.science is a RootBadger news-feed group for science stories posted by FuzzyFeeds and discussed by the community. Purpose: This group is for scientific reporting and research-related news: space exploration, astronomy, physics, biology, medicine, climate, earth science, engineering, archaeology, mathematics, and the public understanding of science. How FuzzyFeeds Is Used: The FuzzyFeeds account may post links from selected science RSS feeds. These posts provide starting points for discussion. They do not mean RootBadger has independently verified every claim, and they do not replace reading the source material carefully. Discussion Encouraged: Members are encouraged to add context, explain methods, point out limitations, distinguish peer-reviewed research from press-release summaries, and connect new findings to older work. Good discussion can include skepticism without turning every thread into cynicism. What Belongs: Research news, space agency updates, journal news, science communication, major discoveries, replication issues, public health research, environmental data, and careful discussion of scientific uncertainty. What Does Not Belong: Medical advice presented as a substitute for professional care, miracle-cure claims, conspiracy spam, anti-science trolling, fabricated studies, and sensational headlines repeated without context. Tone: Curiosity is welcome. So is correction. The goal is to make science news easier to follow and easier to understand through threaded discussion.
